Re: [LAU] headphones

By the way, don't buy based on the brand name. Just because the company
ABC makes the "God phone" XYZ doesn't mean everything they make is good.
I got the wireless Sennheiser RS 130 a few years back, because the
adults in this household tend to watch movies at the hours when the kids
are asleep, so headphones are pretty much mandatory. But sometimes it
feels like I've seen roadkill with better bass response than the RS 130.

Maybe I'm too picky, maybe I got spoiled by the better phones I use. But
back then the 130 were among the best wireless available. Perhaps I
should just get a 3.5mm cable extender (about 5 meters should do), hook
it up to regular phones and call it a day, although that kind of thing
has a low wife-approval factor, quite justified in fact.

One exception to this rule is Grado. They seem to consistently deliver
good phones. Call them too bright if you wish, but their cheaper phones
are like their more expensive models, only less, if that makes sense.
Definitely better than the usual junk at the audio store, although the
"Grado sound" may not be to everyone's liking. Heck, for regular
everyday listening I can't stand them either. :shrug: :rolleyes: :scowl:
